(Clearwisdom.net) In 1996, I was diagnosed with a protrusion of the lumbar invertebral discs, and I was unable to do any heavy labor. In the fall of 2003, I could no longer walk on my left leg. I went to see many doctors, but no one could cure me. I felt it was hopeless. Then with great joy I obtained the Fa in 2004.
In the fall of 2004, a Dafa practitioner visited me and suggested that I repeat, "Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are good." She said that Falun Dafa was a righteous Fa and that Dafa was being persecuted by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). She told me that the self-immolation in Tiananmen Square was a CCP fabrication. She also shared with me the physical and mental changes she experienced after she started practicing Falun Dafa. From then on, I made up my mind to study the Fa and practice the exercises.
The practitioner gave me a copy of the book Zhuan Falun. I read it and became a new person. I thought that this was the hope of my life. After studying the Fa, I understood the principle of loss and gain. In Zhuan Falun, Master told us,
"Once you upgrade your xinxing, your body will undergo a great change. Upon xinxing improvement, the matter in your body is guaranteed to transform. What kind of changes will take place? You will give up those bad things that you are attached to."
I followed Master's requirements. I now always keep in mind that I am a practitioner and should not compete like an everyday person. My family environment was also my cultivation environment, and I required myself to meet the standard of a practitioner in my every word and action. Sometimes it was not easy to pass the test when there was a conflict. However, I looked inside myself afterwards, and rectified myself according to the Fa.
After I practiced Falun Gong for about three months, my left leg completely recovered, and I was able to work again.
My husband suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage last year. I was not moved by my feelings for him. I continued doing the three things as required by Master. When he was hospitalized, I was not able to read the Fa. So I listened to Master's lectures on an MP3 player. When I was at the hospital during the day, I could not hold my palm erect when sending forth righteous thoughts. So I sent forth righteous thoughts in my mind.
Nothing could interfere with my Fa study, and I persevered in sending forth righteous thoughts. I felt that daytime was a good time to clarify the truth to people. I knew that everyone I ran into had a predestined relationship with me, and I knew that I must save them. When I had such a thought, Master helped me. I chatted with people, built up a rapport with them, and then clarified truth to them. Most people who came to my husband's room understood the truth, and quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. They were saved, and I felt truly happy for them.
While my husband was in the hospital, he listened to Master's lectures, and recited in his mind, "Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are good." This shortened his stay in the hospital.
He also witnessed the power of Dafa. I realized that any environment is an environment in which to cultivate, an environment to clarify the truth and save sentient beings.
I must follow Master's requirements and do well. I will keep up with the Fa-rectification and not disappoint Master who has mercifully worked to save us.
